FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The United Family celebrates re-grand opening of Hereford store as United Supermarkets with ribbon-cutting ceremony

Wednesday, Sept. 16, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside community leaders, guests and

team members as the location officially transitioned from Amigos to United Supermarkets.

The store, located at 520 N. 25 Mile Ave., continues The United Family's commitment to serving

Hereford while introducing guests to the United Supermarkets banner, expanded product offerings,

and additional services designed to enhance the shopping experience.

"We are excited to celebrate this new chapter for our Hereford store and the community we have

proudly served for many years," said Chris James, market vice president of operations for The

United Family. "While guests will notice a new name, an updated look and expanded offerings, what

remains unchanged is our commitment to delivering exceptional service and supporting the

Hereford community. We are proud to bring the United Supermarkets experience to Hereford and

continue building on the relationships our team has established over the years."

As part of the transition, guests will continue to find many of the products and departments they

have come to know and trust, while gaining access to an expanded assortment across the store.

New services include Drive Up & Go, The United Family's e-commerce platform that allows guests

to order groceries for pickup or delivery directly from the United Supermarkets app. Guests can

also take advantage of Flash Orders, which provide rapid fulfillment for last-minute grocery needs.

"This store may have a new name out front, but it's still the same great team serving Hereford every

day," said Tiffany Torres, store director. "We are excited to welcome guests into this newly branded

United Supermarkets store and provide them with even more products and services, while

continuing the outstanding service they expect from us."

The re-grand opening celebration also highlighted The United Family's ongoing commitment to the

Hereford community. During the ceremony, the company presented a $2,500 donation to the

Hereford Food Pantry in support of the organization's efforts to address food insecurity throughout

the area. A $2,500 donation to Hereford ISD, and a $2,500 donation to the City of Hereford to

support the youth fishing event this coming weekend.

"The United Family was founded in communities just like Hereford more than 110 years ago," said

Tony Crumpton, market vice president of merchandising and marketing. "This transition allows us

to better serve our guests with new products, services and conveniences while continuing to invest

in the community that has supported us for so many years."

Guests can continue enjoying the personalized service provided by the store's longtime team

members while taking advantage of the expanded United Supermarkets experience, including new

digital shopping options and a broader selection of products throughout the store.
